PHOTOS: Boston vs. New Orleans – Celtics survive a Pelican attack, win 118-112

The Boston Celtics sure looked like they were going to lay another egg against the New Orleans Pelicans to go with the one they laid against the Los Angeles Clippers in their prior contest before getting their act together in the game’s third quarter. Then, they nearly lost the game in the final frame, but pulled together a dominant run to finish the game with a 118-112 win.

In a game Boston trailed by as much as 17, pulling out the clamps when their shot wasn’t falling early held the Pels to just 28.6 from deep. This, coupled with better ball movement and a renewed focus on defense in the game’s second half got the victory for the Celtics and prevented what would have been Boston’s second losing streak of the 2023-24 season from happening.

Let’s take a look at some of the best moments captured in images in the Celtics’ 47th game of the 2023-24 NBA season vs. the Pelicans.
